A .ai file with placed files opened from its PDF part (no guides, no sublayers,
no hidden objects), because the editing-data reader stopped at them.
- Lexer: a placed file's preview section is one token (it was skipped).
- Reader: %AI5_BeginPlace ... ~ becomes a linked image with the file's path,
showing the preview the data keeps of it (premultiplied ARGB, capped at
MAX_PIXELS, its rows checked against the bytes there), in its place: the
matrix takes the file's pixels from the canvas, where they start at the point
of art space's origin. A placed file without a preview, a path or a matrix
still makes the file open from its PDF part.
- The open result lists one warning saying linked pictures show the
low-resolution preview until their files are found (rows in the catalogs).
- Engine: a link nothing is known of whose image shows a preview is read where
it is found as the document opens, into the image's bounds, and isn't
reported as modified.
- Tests: lexer, reader (hand-written data), engine open with the link missing
and found, fuzz tokens.
